East Region Senior Trials
October 29th, 2006
John Birch, this year’s Regional Programme Manager writes:
“This year Senior Regional Trials will take place over two dates: 3rd December and 28th January
UPDATED 19 NOV
Venue for 3rd December: The St Christopher School in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire.
Venue for 28th January: King’s School, Ely, Cambridgeshire
Further details for 28th January to follow; details for 3rd December below.
Directions to St Chris can be found here
This venue was chosen after it was used by the Herts county girls for their development day on 15th October. “St Chris” is small independent school in North Hertfordshire with an interesting and unusual - but rather attractive philosophy - but (more to the point) a sports field that is kept in immaculate condition. There was room for three girls squads to train, the ground was available exclusively for the whole day, and the support provided by the staff - and pupils - from the school could not be faulted.
I was therefore delighted when St Chris said that they could also offer their grounds for East Region Senior trials. Start times etc. will be published nearer the time once agreed by regional coaches.
Note that there are two days of trials this year for senior players in order to enable as many players to be considered as possible. This should regularise a situation where in the past the first squad training session was also being attended by those who missed the original trials - which in effect meant that that session had become a second trial by default.
Trialists will be expected to attend BOTH days unless their absence is unavoidable (and East Region staff are notified in advance).“
